    Any real benefit to installing a roll bar on M1009 ??

    Olly, that's good news. I've been over a few times and glad the cage was there. This has been a very worthwhile discussion.

    CUCV VIN Question

    Yes, that is an R30 VIN number for sure. 1989 would be the year. The B means incomplete as in cab chassis. Google GM VINncards to decode it.

    Any real benefit to installing a roll bar on M1009 ??

    2.409# per foot x 32 =77.08 so, yes! My 75# guess was off the cuff but now it's calculated. Is 4 sticks and estimate?

    8 lug to 6 lug

    There is no easy way short of buying a new axle or just buying 8 lug 16" rims and swapping over the traded tires. We have answers here but only CARNAC is clairvoyant.

    8 lug to 6 lug

    Well, what kind of trailer and why? Only swapping one wheel and tire? What are you planning for the other one?

    M1028A2 Question

    Table 1-9.1 in TM 9-2320-289-10 shows the difference between the M1028A2 and M1028A3. Basically, your M1028A3 will be equipped with the New Process 208 and the -A2 will have the New Process 205. It should be noted that both were conversions of the M1028 and M1028A1.

    I can't believe how close this is to Dayton. I can't begin to imagine any event being only 100 miles away. Heck, my job is 75 miles away.

    M1028A2 Question

    I concur. There are many different lengths of slip/stub yokes. If yours is different than the guy that checks his, you might be wasting your money. If you want it done right, measure ujoint center to flat flange and take it to a driveline shop for adjustment.

    I would have to agree with someone!

    Any real benefit to installing a roll bar on M1009 ??

    I would think the weight of the steel would be about 75#. When dealing with a 5500# truck, 75# equally distributed above the CG might change the tipping point by an inch or so. One could strategically add 25# to each side of the frame rail and compensate for the cage if it was that critical...
